im thinking of buying one of these and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them? any help would be appreciated
a mate just got one off silverfish, ex demo, took it for a ride for a few hours to see how it goes... great bike... feels solid and rides well. The upright design is a little different, but very comfortable, and good in the technical sections. Pedaling is efficient with no noticeable chain growth etc…
good bike, well finished, nice paint.
I test rode one last year and if I could find a cheap(er) 20.5" then I'd probably buy it. I like RM's (got two HT's)and the Altitude seemed to have that 'attack the trail' ride to it that another FS bike I tested didn't have. It was nimbler in the Singletrack than my Jekyll is and had no discernible pedal feedback on the limited route I rode on. Check out the MTBR forums - there's a lot more info over there on the way the Altitude rides.
Just check the TT length on the size you want, RM's come up shorter than most on the TT.
